Henry Jackson to Henry Knox about Problem Tenants on the Waldo Patent, Congress and a Militia Law and Opinions on This, 22 December 1793 available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Called on Mr. [Stephen?] Higginson about a bill, but he declined accepting it. Received a letter from Colonel Tyler on his tour of Knox's Maine lands. Says he will write you again respecting the conduct of some persons on the patent and the manner they are waisting [sic] and distroying [sic] your property. Wants to pay Tyler [Dollar sign]2 per day for his 52 days of work. Heard that Congress is bringing forward a new militia law. Wants Knox to keep him in mind for any appointments. Declares I am desirous of being in a permanent & respectable situation of fifteen hundred or a thousand dollars a year. Believes the federal government must divide the militia up into 4 grand divisions and appoint a Major General and a Deputy Adjutant General (with the rank of Brigadier General) to each. Also wants an A.D. General to reside at the seat of government. Wants the great officers appointed by the president and paid by the federal government, but the subordinate officers to be appointed and paid by the states. Says some such plan as this will give a respectable and efficient Militia - the present is only a rope of sand.
